Oh, dear
ONTD has a report on the first preview for Andrew Lloyd Webber's sequel to Phantom, Love Never Dies...and it's not good.
Frankly, I had a feeling it was going to be kind of a train wreck ever since I heard they were using the story from Frederick Forsythe's Phantom of Manhattan (which as been pretty much universally panned, as far as I can tell), but it's one thing to have misgivings and another to know for sure that it's a total train wreck.
Sigh. POTO was a huge part of my life for a very long time, and I have to say I'm not terribly thrilled with ALW for distorting its legacy this way. Oh, well, guess I can put my fingers in my ears and go "LALALALALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU" and pretend LND doesn't exist...
